Although the cable car was closed for renovations, Jose attended to our needs and expertly guided us around. We highly recommend him and this private tour.”— Paula_L

33. ATV, zip-lining and horseback riding day pass in Puerto Plata
4.9· 86 reviews· 6 hoursFull day access—includes ATV rides, zip lines, horseback riding, and a traditional Dominican meal valued at $15.
“I have a four-year-old who loves adventure, and this tour was ideal for him to try a variety of activities. I preferred not spending an entire day on just one thing, and this excursion offered a mix — horseback riding, ATVs, zip lines — all in one package that suited him perfectly. At first, I was concerned about him riding his own horse, but the guide was with him the entire time, making it a fantastic experience. While he couldn't drive the ATV, he had a blast sitting in front of me. He particularly enjoyed splashing through water and seeing cows. He went on most of the ziplines alone, but we shared a couple of them, and although he was a bit scared initially, he quickly discovered he loved it. The adults had a fantastic time too. Everything was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone felt safe and comfortable. The lunch was delicious; they prepare great food, and you certainly won't leave hungry. The only regret I have is not bringing enough cash. They have a vendor at the ranch, a local shop you visit during the ATV tour, and they take photos of your experiences (most of which can be paid for with a card). With so many guides and the wonderful cooks, I wish I had more money for tips for everyone. We brought swimsuits thinking about the pool mentioned in the description, but with so many activities, we never even considered using it. Honestly, the pool didn’t seem as appealing compared to what we had on the ship, but that wasn’t the reason for choosing this excursion, so it wasn’t a concern for us. Just leave the swimsuits behind and immerse yourself in the adventures! This tour struck the perfect mix of thrill and family enjoyment, and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the Dominican Republic, especially those with children.”— jennyfuller118

77. All-Inclusive Catamaran Snorkeling Day-Trip from Cabarete
4.4· 187 reviewsSix hours onboard a spacious catamaran — two snorkeling sites with all equipment provided, Dominican lunch, and an open bar throughout.
“The trip along the stunning coastline on a spacious catamaran was quite enjoyable. Snorkeling in Sosúa Bay took place at two spots teeming with vibrant fish and coral. The crew fed fish bananas and bread, drawing them closer. However, we were disappointed with the short snorkeling duration of around 25 minutes at each site. The presence of other boats and snorkelers made the experience feel crowded, detracting from the tranquility as loud music and people occupied the water. While the crew was friendly and enthusiastic, their attempts to boost energy at times felt excessive, lacking focus on snorkeling. We would have appreciated having a crew member knowledgeable about the area's biodiversity. The fish were beautiful, and visibility was excellent that day. To our surprise, after snorkeling, we traveled to the far side of the island, extending the boat ride by two hours. Seating was limited, and shade was scarce, making it uncomfortable. The food did not reflect authentic Dominican flavors and catered more to American preferences, while many guests seemed more interested in the unlimited alcohol. This ultimately turned our trip into a party vibe. After two hours, we arrived at Ocean World Marina, where we faced some confusion regarding transport, which was included. Ending the day on a crowded, hot bus for over an hour was a disappointing finish, especially since we could have concluded our outing in Sosúa Bay where we initially started.”— Meander49287855053
